Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C Fan and line a baking tray with non-stick paper.
- To make the pizza dough, place the flour in a large bowl and stir in the yeast and salt.
- Make a well in the centre, pour in 200ml warm water and the olive oil and stir together using a wooden spoon to make a soft, sticky dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a clean lightly oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for an hour in a warm place.
- Meanwhile, to make the tomato sauce, place the oil and onion in a pan over a medium heat and sauté for 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the passata and tomato puree, season lightly and cook for about 12 minutes until thickened.
- Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and knead again briefly. Divide into 4 large balls for the face and 8 small balls for the ears.
- With a rolling pin flatten the large and small balls and roll out to make circles.
- Transfer the larger circle to the baking sheet and attach the two smaller circles for the ears. Repeat to make four teddy bear faces.
- Spread some tomato sauce over each of the pizzas and then sprinkle with the grated mozzarella. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Decorate with black olives for the nose and eyes.
